Should I seek medical help for fever and cough?

Patient's Query

I am having fever and cough for about 30 hours, I am taking paracetamol, I am feeling relief for 4-5 hours, then I am waking up like this, and I am also coughing.

Pulmonology

Answered by Dr. Shweta Bansal

It could be a respiratory infection that is giving you a fever and cough. Such infections can be due to viruses and bacteria. Paracetamol can reduce your fever usefully, while coughing is your airways' way of trying to clean themselves. Encourage your body to be healthy by drinking lots of fluids and getting enough sleep. If the last couple of days haven't been the best for you and you feel even worse than before, then it is time to consult a pulmonologist.

1. Cough (2 days) 2. Has mucus ( i feel like iron inside my throat) 3. I cough blood start this morning

Female | 17

It seems like you are having some problems that require attention. The mucus that accompanies a continuous cough and the presence of blood are indications of various things, like the irritation of the upper respiratory tract or an infection. It is crucial to watch your symptoms and your general health very closely. Water is best for staying hydrated and a humidifier can be used to minimize discomfort in the throat. But the bleeding in your cough is why the first medical visit is a must. Consult a pulmonologist for proper treatment advice.

For a correct diagnosis, it is crucial to visit a pulmonologist. You can remain calm, sit up straight, and breathe slowly instead of this.

The last 3 nights I have woken up choking for air. I'm really scared this night be sleep apnea although my symptoms are more like acid reflux. I'm 38 and very slim. Do you think this is a low chance?

Female | 38

At 20 and 130 pounds, sleep apnea is less likely but possible. However, acid reflux can cause similar choking feelings. Reflux happens when stomach acid backs up into the food pipe. To help: avoid heavy, spicy meals before bed. Raise the head of your bed. Eat smaller meals during the day. Talk to a pulmonologist if you're still concerned.

Kişi | 30

Taking the meds your doctor gave for breathing trouble and allergies is key for managing symptoms. About your question on self-pleasure, it doesn't affect those meds or hurt your air tubes. Self-pleasure is normal and doesn't damage the lungs. Follow your doctor's advice and take meds as instructed. If worried about your health, talk openly with a pulmonologist.

It have a dangerous coughing in her chest but the medication is there blow 1 inhalers 2 Antistanines 3 Dextromethorphan 4 Benzonatate 5 codein or Hydrocodone

Female | 56

These include infections, allergies, or irritation. Good ways to relax and open bronchial tubes are inhalers, which are medications, while antihistamines are used to cancel the symptoms of allergies. Dextromethorphan and benzonatate are among the soothing medicines for a prolonged cough, and among prescription drugs, codeine or hydrocodone may be curative measures for severe conditions. The right thing is to keep tabs on symptoms and visit a pulmonologist if your cough gets worse or doesn’t get better.

Hi doctor, my name is KALLOL Mondal, and I am 22 years old and my weight is around 65 KG. So, it's been two years since I have been smoking cigarettes, but for the last two months, I have stopped smoking. So my question is, how do I recover my lungs like a normal healthy person from the damage so far?

Male | 22

To aid lung recovery, focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which contain antioxidants that help repair lung tissue. Engage in regular aerobic exercises, such as walking or cycling, to improve lung function and stamina. Stay hydrated to help clear out toxins. Additionally, practicing deep breathing exercises can enhance lung capacity. While many experience improvements over time, if you notice any persistent symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath, please consult a pulmonologist for personalized advice.

Female | 35

Dealing with COPD can be challenging, even if you're a non-smoker. Feeling constantly tired and struggling with tasks like house cleaning can happen without much notice. COPD can be caused by air pollution, second-hand smoke, or genetic factors. To manage the condition, follow your doctor's prescribed medications, do breathing exercises, and avoid triggers that worsen your symptoms. Getting enough rest and eating a healthy diet are key to boosting your energy levels.

When I shouting my voice is make understand that cough store in my lungs. I like eggplant vegetables lover and most of the time I consume eggplant.

Male | 33

It sounds like you are experiencing a combination of respiratory symptoms, likely related to an allergic reaction or sensitivity to dust or certain foods, which may be exacerbating your cough and chest tightness. The white mucus suggests your airways may be reacting to irritants. To alleviate symptoms, try to avoid spicy foods, ensure good ventilation while cooking, and consider using an air purifier. Staying hydrated and using saline nasal sprays can also help. However, given your persistent issues, I recommend consulting a pulmonologist for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Male | 23

What you have described, such as breathing difficulties, heart pain, mouth ulcers, feeling sick, fatigue, and throat aches might be a condition like anxiety, stress, or vitamin deficiencies. It's great that your ECG and CT scan showed no issues. Healthy lifestyle choices are great but they can also help to ease the symptoms of stress, maintain a balanced diet, stay hydrated, and sleep enough. If the symptoms persist, visit a pulmonologist.
